I got to meet Broadway composer HenryKrieger today, best known for composing 8220;Dreamgirls.”; He works out at my gym, and he had an appointment with my personal trainer right after I did.
I told him that Matt plays “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” several times a week, is obsessed with the show, and is counting down the days until the movie opens in December.
Now that I’ve met HenryKrieger, I need to meet the other two famous people who apparently work out at my gym: Victor Garber and the Verizon guy.
